Who's cheaper than JJ?

He is young and ready and if the inevitable happens, meaning jj leaves, then rudy gay could be a great addition. I don’t like wade or lbj. talent and attitude are two different subjects and the attitude ain’t happening

3 of the most athletic players in one team

MONTA ELLIS movement. A major concern for maxing out JJ is that he won’t be worth it in in the middle of his contract and towards the end because of his age.

MONTA ELLIS is as good or a better scorer than JJ. MONTA ELLIS is younger and more atheletic than JJ.

And yes, MONTA ELLIS is cheaper than JJ.

Al Horford and Josh Smith are gonna be the top players, leaders, and faces of this team and MONTA ELLIS will only solidify a youth movement for the Hawks again. Can you imagine the speed of this team with Jeff Teague and MONTAE ELLIS in the backcourt with Smoove and the Boss in the front court!!!!!!

I know its not speculation season yet, and I know MONTA ELLIS is not a free agent, but I was thinking of a trade (a three team trade).

A three team trade including Atlanta, Chicago, and Golden State. Chicago gets JJ – Golden State gets Luol Deng and Kurt Hinrich – Atlanta gets MONTA ELLIS and Anthony Randolph (not necessary but that would be even sweeter for the Hawks to add another young athletic big to the frontline rotation).

C’mon…. can I get some supporters.

This is the big question. I want to see how JJ plays in the series with Mickey’s team. I am a big JJ fan, but he needs to show up, no more 8 points on 4 of 14 shooting, and good D for max. No way. But let’s wait, this is the big question of the off-season.

Randy Foye

But its good to dream is it not? now if he has a monster series like ATLpaul said then no questions about next season, and to be honest I don’t want him to go at all but IF it happens, rudy gay or even montae Ellis would be a “dream” of mine

We could easily rotate between JC and Morrow dependig on match-ups.

Marvin, Zaza, Mario, Collins, Morris, Chills- What can we get for these? This is how you keep Joe without going max. Make him a worthy offer and add some real players around him……AMARE!!!!!…or Bosh
I do like Rudy Gay…I would let Marvin go to get him.

I am hearing if we don’t sign Joe we only have $10 mil to spend w/o going over the lux tax. You almost have to go young with that. I like Rudy Gay, but can we get him for $10 mil. If Mo was more consistent, I wouldn’t be against starting him and playing inside out. Make Al Horford the focus of the offense. Have him and Josh work inside and create for others. I think Marvin could benefit from this and Mo could hit threes and play “D”. Then you can pick up another good bench player, a nice SF backup to come in with Jamal. Woody though wouldn’t know how to handle it, so a new coach is almost inevitable, especially if we don’t resign Joe. I do like some of the suggestions above as well.

Anybody who aint Melo, Wade, Bron, to replace JJ is a step back. Morrow?? c’mon, Monta?? There is nobody better right now face it. So if we don’t sign him, and add a star we will be going backwards……the only way I’m okay with losing JJ is……. The Wizards get to void the huge contract for Arenas and we some how can get him in FA because no team wants him and we get him for a lower cost than Joe, and then added C/PF like Bosh or Amare.
i would still rep Joe Johnson- Knick, Bull, Heat wherever he goes I’m rooting for him

Forgot to add Ray Allen. Though kinda glad I didn’t remember.

is the only keeper. He’s the uncrowned (by the media at large) leader of this team. The ONLY one who plays hard every night. Everyone else should be moved if can be….ESPECIALLY Joe. Boy, the drafting of Marvin Williams keeps kicking this team in the ass…every day…every day we have to watch Bibby get killed on a screen and roll, or a drive and dish. What we’re paying Bibby could have gone to a center that could hold his own and let Al play his natural position. Remember, Noah and Speights were the centers on the Gator title teams, and Hofrofd played the 4. Nothing wrong with J-Clank’em playing the 3…he’d be the ATL version of Ariza. For the future:

1. Let Joe Walk (Woody’s a goner anyway, no need to even say otherwise)
2. Get a legit competent center (draft, sign, or trade)
3. Let Teague start (either he sinks or swims…it’s time to find out)
4. Find a shooter to play the 2 (which keeps Jamal on the bench)

Lineup:
C
Horford
J-Clank’em
SG
Teague

Bench: JC, Marvin, Bibby, whoever else….

One step back to take the next big step into championship contention….I think this is the way.

1. not interested in sharing the ball, so unless u turning Jeff Teague into quick steve kerr where he is only point guard by title
2. not interested in defending anybody
3. he and crawford played together in GS and it worked out terrible so Crawford would have to go

a dynamic scorer without question and coming back to south might be good for him but i’m not a fan of the small 2guard as your lead dog

and somebody tell me the most fundamental hawk on the team and then the second most fundamental. Then tell me why would keep everyone else and drop either one of them.

Some how, some way, getting a Brandon Roy, OJ Mayo, or Andre Igudala, give up some expendable pieces like Marv, ZaZa, Mo, & Bibby( we need to let Teague play, he’s aggressive, athletic, & pretty strong for a PG his size) or 1st rd pick this yr. Those guys (esp Brandon) would thrive in our system(that is if Woody aint gone) We will always be a team that will ALWAYS get into the conference semi’s & flop if we dont make moves!

I wish we could do a deal witth phoenix to get amare by giving them josh smith. We re-sign joe and then we move horford to the 4 and just let amare play center. Then we are contenders again to at least get past the 2nd round for once!!!!

let it be Teaque, we don’t know if he’ll hit a brick wall next year. Besides, we have a taller Pachulia who’s a contender
